Stephen Curry, Who Spent $8 Million to Avoid San Francisco Traffic, Pulls Back the Check at Last Minute

Published 10/31/2022, 8:00 PM EDT

In 2019, the Golden State Warriors moved from Oakland to San Francisco. This impacted the face of their franchise, Stephen Curry, as he was always turning up late to practice. Therefore, the Currys decided to buy a lavish $8 million condo close to Chase Center. But years after the news broke, the three-point king has pulled back the check.

Steph Curry, one of the highest-paid NBA players of all time, became the only league player to sign his second $200 million contract. Earning more than $50 million in salary per season, luxuries often cross paths with the Baby-Faced Assassin. However, in 2019, Curry became a victim of traffic and started getting 25-30 minutes late for practice.

Hence, there was only one solution- moving closer to the Chase Center. Stephen Curry decided to relocate from his mansion in Atherton to a sumptuous condo in one of the most elegant buildings in San Francisco, the Four Seasons Private Residences.

But it seems the Curry household has changed its mind since. According to The San Francisco Standard, Steph Curry has withdrawn from his plan to buy the $8 million condo.

So if not the Four Seasons condo, where is Stephen Curry going to live? Well, the three-point king inked his name in the record books of San Francisco as he bought the Bay Area’s most expensive mansion in 2019.

That’s right, Stephen Curry poured in $31 million for a property in one of the most prestigious areas of Atherton, California. Home to several multi-millionaires, the reigning Finals MVP became the newest addition to the area. The modern-style mansion boasts three stories.

In addition, it also has a guest house, three car detached garage, and a poolside cabana to enjoy a barbecue. Hence, it seems like the two-time MVP has figured out the right routes to get to games on time. Or perhaps, with such comforts available, Stephen Curry probably chose to deal with San Francisco traffic, and depart for practice early, rather than live in downtown San Francisco.
